Takin' Care of Business....

Whoa, hey! It's been a while since I wrote anything! Sorry folks! Lately I've been amassing information on the local art scene here. This means:
- finding out what kinds of art organizations there are
- finding the galleries, who owns them, how often they do shows, are they free or you pay for entry, etc, etc
- figuring out who already exists on the scene and what kinds of art they produce

And then a few more for me- I've been contacting the local interior desingers to see who works with artists to realize their clients'projects. I've also contacted a local church I attend sometimes to see about donating an older piece I'm reworking for their little chapel. It could use a color boost (in my humble opinion, of course)!

Other than that, I've been sketching a lot for my next body of artwork, gathering images and trying to figure out where I could expose it first. I'm talking to the owners of Hotel Normandy about a show in April. It's a small hotel in Cap d'Ail (French border town to Monaco for those of you not from around here) which does art expositions since about a year now. It's there that my friend Anouk realized her first "Love Art" exposition with a few other artists, which has now morphed into "Live Art" which I told you all about a few posts ago.

Anyway, I have to get back to work on my file for the jury panel of the Arts Association of Monaco. The judging will take place at the end of the month and will determine whether they allow me in as a professional artist or not. This association would put me in touch with other artists and give me access to various expositions and projects they have available to artists on the scene. Really hoping for this, so wish me luck!!!

You all take care now! Have a great weekend!
